Now that 2 factor authentication is mandatory on IE during the login process which by the way, is a good idea in terms of security of your account.
Is it possible for IE to introduce an alternate 2fa other than mobile SMS?
How about Google Authenticator, a free authenticating app?
Here is a WiKi link explaning what SIM swapping is,
As IE wishes users to initiate 2fa during login, why not make it more secure rather than just making the login process more complicated?

Hello Tanya,
Thanks for your reply.

Except your system has one massive flaw. If you log out of the app, like restarting, then when you try to log back in it asks for you to authorise in the app you’re trying to log into to be able to log in.
Catch 22.
